Boycott Maldives: Racist remarks over PM Modi's Lakshadweep tweet sparks row

IndiaTimes Sunday, 7 January 2024
Calls to boycott Maldives tourism after Maldivian politicians Zahid Rameez and Mariyam Shiuna made derogatory remarks against PM Modi's visit to Lakshadweep. The Maldives government distanced itself from the remarks and emphasized the importance of responsible expression. Former Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed condemned the language used by the politicians and highlighted India's significance as a key ally. The anti-India comments have led to calls for a boycott of Maldives by Indian celebrities and influencers. Tensions between India and Maldives have also increased due to the country's pro-China shift.
